the forgotten machine

My new computer arrived yesterday. I souped it up, ostensibly for music-related purposes, but let's be honest - I'm not going to be writing music all the time.

And so, since I had nothing better to do, I wanted to see what it was capable of. I went to "Can You Run It?" and saw that, even though it wasn't actually my intention to do so, I could indeed run Crysis. And I installed it, and saw that it could run it at substantially high settings, and got very, very excited.

Only then did it occur to me that there's almost nothing on the PC that I'm actually interested in playing at the moment - or, rather, that I'm not already playing on a console.
